Ali Love’s ‘Love Harder’ album seems to have been on the horizon for an eternity.
Now things look like they are getting ready to happen with the news of the lead-in single ‘Smoke & Mirrors’. Awesome Pop goodness with a reMix package featuring Bottin, Funtcase and Villa, who turn in this pretty epic, analog synths and piano, jam.

‘Love Harder’ should be dropping soon…we think…
Marina And The Diamonds has just premiered the video for her new single ‘Oh No!’.
Directed (again) by Kinga Burza the video has Marina once again shaking off record company clown-shoes to be who she wants to be.
The single is backed up with some great reMixes, most notably from one of the hottest producers around, Grum, who has taken time out from basking in the success of his amazing début album to work his bass heavy Nu-Disco skills on Marina. Max Sanna and Steve Pitron turn in a more traditional club mix that could take over the clubs this summer.

Aeroplane, that crazy Belgian duo is now an just an uno. Stephan have left for pastures new leaving Vito to rock the spot solo.
And rock the spot he does. ‘We Can’t Fly’ is his new single and it’s got a pinch of everything. A sweet Electro-House backing with a Roots flavour and a Balearic frosting. nice summer beach music.

The new single from New York synth noodler My Robot Friend features a pretty special guest star. Alison Moyet of Yazoo fame (actually, I feel a bit mean saying “of Yazoo fame” ‘cos she’s had a hell of a solo career, but if you’re reading this blog you’re probably most familiar with her work with Vince Clarke in Yazoo) picks up the mic to drop her soulful, instantly recognisable, voice over MRF’s electronics.
The end result, originally featured on My Robot Friend’s ‘Soft-Core’ album, does have a bit of a Yazoo vibe to it, and that can never be a bad thing! The single is backed up with a reMix package from the likes of Kingdom, Solvent, Alex Smoke and DFA’s resident Housemeisters The Juan MacLean, who get into some deep, deep House with the track.

Parisian Electro-House/Indie-Electro act Housse De Racket are releasing yet another reMix package for their much hammered, much reMixed party anthem ‘Oh Yeah!’.
The package is seriously top quality, here are just three examples of what to expect. Hidden Cat turn in a brilliant space Disco mix that keeps the killer riff but layers it will analog noodling. Jensen Sportag brings us quite an eclectic summer chiller but the highlight so far has to be Walter Sobcek’s slick retro Pop mix which is, one one word, epic!

4th July is the street date for the ‘Oh Yeah!’ reMix EP, out on Kuskus.
Overthrill probably isn’t a new name to many readers of electronic rumors. Having dropped some awesome EPs (and killer Mixtapes) in the last couple of years, German producer Sebastian Bentler joins the dots between the Valerie crew’s melodic, smooth Dreamwave sound and the Ed Banger posse’s Noisy French Electro.
And the point in the middle of those dots is pretty epic!
One a duo, now solo, Sebastian is pretty prolific when it comes to releases, with four EPs and a handful of singles under his belt in the last few years (Sebastian handles all the artwork too) and more in the pipeline Overthrill have somehow managed to consistently knock out banger after banger. Pleasing both the blogs and the clubs.
Overthrill’s most recent EP, ‘The Upper Worlds’ is a prime example of their head on collision between Disco and Distorted Electro, funky and in-your-face at the same time.
♫ Overthrill (Feat. Miss Wonder) – The Upper Worlds
His recent track takes the same road with hard Electro beats and sweet Disco vocal snatches
This is how bangers should be made!

Moonchild is a producer from Sydney, Australia who is beginning to make waves in the Nu-Disco scene there.

And the world is a better place for it to. His début release, ‘Girls’, is a deep and funky synth Disco epic that gives France’s Filter-house output a run for it’s money.

Noisy Electro-House Spaniard Ikki is taking some brief time off from Dim Mak to release a new EP of FutureFlashs’ record label Kiez Beats.
Not only have Dublin DJ’s Deadbots provided a reMix for the EP but also mashed up this version of the tune with Todd Terry’s ‘Keep On Jumpin’’. The result is a huge dirty Electro-House tune that is just the thing when you can feel the weekend on the horizon.
